Harford Grant Academy

The Harford Grant Academy (HGA)
is a collaboration of the Community Foundation of Harford County, Harford County Department of Community Services, Harford Community College, and Harford County Public Library.

The Harford Grant Academy is designed to provide training in funder research, proposal development, writing skills, and grants management. HGA is open to individuals working with/for nonprofit organizations and interested in developing skills in grant and foundation fundraising. Instruction on the essential skills and knowledge needed to achieve successful, competitive grant and foundation funding is the cornerstone of the program. What makes HGA unique is the ongoing support, resources, hands-on funder research and proposal development designed to take grant writing to a new level. HGA incorporates online learning, in-class discussion, and presentations from experts in the field. Each participant has the opportunity to have writing samples reviewed and critiqued by seasoned fundraisers and grants professionals.
